What You Do:

Cut out the salt-dough using the template as a guide. *Small children will need assistance*

Use a round cookie-cutter or the seal of a small canning jar to trace a circle for the votive holder.

Place a votive candle in the center of the circle and press to make an imprint to hold the candle

Carefully place the Jack-O-Lanterns & Circles onto a non-stick pan and bake using the directions (found here). *I recommend setting a timer to check on them about every 20 minutes or so to make sure they are baking nicely.

Once they are completely hard, cool, and dry you can paint them.

Let them dry and then connect them using more salt dough. We just formed a rectangular block and gently pressed the Salt-dough Jack-O-Lantern and the round votive base together and carefully pressed the salt-dough in around them until they had a secure hold.

The Jack-O-Lantern will want to just flop over, so you will need to secure it using a heavy object in front and in back of it to hold it in place while it drys for a day or so.

I hope you enjoy making these and are able to decorate with them for years to come!
